Hurrah and one for luck
Design by Jeremy Walton, 2006. Frederiksberg Gardens and The Palaces and Properties agency.
Designed and made for SE 2006 ‘Vennelyst’,
‘Inspired by an appreciation of real Danish life, the humour and personality of the people in Denmark. The ‘Hygge’ in birthdays, family gatherings and raising the flag. The dinner speeches and flag waving. The shorts and the long one at the end.’

Line Drawings 0004 to 0006
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2005.
Plain MDF boxes with dowel pins protruding from the sides. The dowel pins are laid out to represent an archetype of a chair, standing lamp, and table. String is left attached initially to each piece. During the exhibition people drew on the pieces with the string. Each person leaving their own mark, filling in, making patterns, random tying, etc. One person would respond to another, creating often predictable ‘I am going to do something different’ or surprising details of concentration and commitment.
Mundane Grand
Design by Jeremy Walton 2004
Design and made especially for the SE 2004 – Furniture Haute Couture Exhibition at Danish Design Centre, Copenhagen and Vandalorum Art museum, Smålands Sweden.
A chest of drawers. ‘Memorable. I want this chest of drawers to be what no other chest of drawers has ever been before. I want the concept of the furniture to be what lifts the design into the realm of Furniture Hauteur couture, if this is possible.
If Chests of drawers had dreams this is what they would dream to be.’
The Fake Dane Collection

The bench is yours II
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2002.
Starting with an archetypal chair form, waste and found wood is added on to the bench following the archetype of a basic chair, needing legs, seat and back. Any one can add to the bench with the waste wood. It is a democratic project that cannot be designed in advance. We create the base, there after it is up to the people that use the park to continue where the last person stopped.
Bench is yours – Video
The Bench is yours II filmed at Fabbrikken by CYF, 2002.
A Culture Corporation project by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. A starting block is laid and people use waste wood to add to the bench where the last person left off.
